min's Most Intriguing People

and People To Watch Awards!

min is inviting you to enter min’s People to Watch and min’s Most Intriguing People — part of min’s annual Most Intriguing People + Launches event which recognizes Hottest Launches of the Year presented by the one and only Samir Husni “Mr. Magazine” and the media leaders who have taken on new challenges or have made a huge impact in the past year.

min's People to Watch  is looking to single out the next generation of media superstars—the editors, writers, bloggers, marketers, salespeople, agency execs and others who are laying the groundwork for the evolution and future success of magazine brands.  Nominations are open to people age 30 years and younger; they must be media professionals working for or owning a consumer magazine or b2b media company, a Web-only media brand, or associated with an agency, advertiser or vendor that works closely with media brands.

min’s Most Intriguing People in Media went above and beyond their call of duty within the last year to create a lasting mark in their sphere of influence and, most importantly, inspired us to ask the question—what are they going to do next? They are comprised of consumer and b2b magazine executives, digital media leaders and media agency and advertising executives who work closely with magazine brands.

The late deadline to enter nominations for min's  People to Watch and Most Intriguing People is October 3. Winners will be announced at min’s Most Intriguing People + Launches event in New York City on December 10, in a special awards issue of min, min newsletter and minonline.com.
